Download and Install an Alteryx Data Set

Follow the steps below to download, install, and activate a data set from the Alteryx Downloads and Licenses portal. Alteryx compresses data sets using 7z, a file archive format. You can download 7zip from www.7-zip.org. To manage a license for partner data or any product license that uses SRC (.srclc) licenses, see Manage Partner Data Licenses.

Prepare a Network Install

A network installation allows Alteryx Designer users to point to a central location instead of a local directory. Users can be online or offline. To prepare a network installation...

   • A temporary folder for extracting the contents of the zip file.
   • A shared network folder for users of the data set.
2. Download a data set zip file and extract the contents of the zip file to the temporary folder. Delete this folder after you have installed the data to a network folder.
3. Run AlteryxDataInstall.exe and select all data sets you want to install.

Users will navigate to the AlteryxDataInstall.exe located in the shared network folder when they register to use the installed data sets.
